President Trump has decided to remove Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and her departure from the administration is likely to occur in the coming weeks, if not sooner, according to five current and former White House officials.
Trump canceled a planned trip with Nielsen this week to visit U.S. troops at the border in South Texas and told aides over the weekend he wants her out as soon as possible, these officials said. The president has grumbled for months about what he views as Nielsen’s lackluster performance on immigration enforcement and is believed to be looking for a replacement who will implement his policy ideas with more alacrity.
The announcement could come as soon as this week, three of these officials said.

Why do people keep nominating Rudy Giuliani for top cabinet positions? He's way past his prime, in poor health, and has said that he's not interested in any high level government post.
No. Sheriff Joe is 85 years old. He's done.
To me he has not represented Trump that well, plus he is rather old and not in that great of health to give the democrats hell!
Get a no-nonsense man to do the job. Mexico is tired of dealing with that influx of peasants and is trucking thousands of them to our border. They’ll be here next week, greeted by the Open Borders crowd and the Trump-hating media.
Sounds fishy to me....
Not saying there isn't some truth in the article, how do I know? But I seriously doubt the whole thing is true. AND - this is the Washington Post!!!
I agree. It's written as if it's made up. Add to that it's an unnamed source from the WaPo.
I'm not buying the story just yet.
Rudy seems incoherent these days. Please pick somebody younger!
Right. Well Rudy is an icon He - used to anyway- get things done. If Gowdy had actually done anything the way Rudy had he’d be a legend too. And might have a job working for us. Mysterious how he chose to quit. He’ll soon be forgotten. I digress. Who’s like Rudy? Not a lot of people.
What a disaster...Can’t ensure our elections and can’t protect our border. What do they do again over there at the DHS?
It’s time to dismantle our stasi state STAT.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sarah and Todd recently announced that they were seriously considering relocating to the lower 48.
“Rudy seems incoherent these days. Please pick somebody younger!”
I am with you, it seems Rudy has not given Trump the legal advice that he needed, plus he is old and not to good of health!
There may be a kernel of truth, but I seriously doubt all the soap opera details that slime Trump and his administration.
IOW Nielsen may be leaving, but all the rest? How would former Trump admin people know anything unless there are leakers? And if current admin (supposedly, from the article) are leaking, they’re leaking to the WAPO?
Really.
If they are, they need to be fired as of yesteday, and just the amount of fine detail is just unbelievable.
If I’m wrong I’ll admit it!
his enemies wonder this too, they can’t wait to pin “Saturday night massacre” on him so he has to do it in a crafty way.
“when and how Trump will do what Michael Corleone did at the end of the first Godfather movie: wipe out his enemies with one massive attack. “
Oh,lordy,the Christening scenes——seared in my mind.
,
We need Sarah to overthrow Murkowski in the Senate (2020).
Sheriff Joe. He invented the tent city jail.
Time catches up to us all. Rudy has been most unimpressive in his latest role as Trump's lawyer.
I appreciate all that he did during his prime, but his best days are long behind him.
They did get fired. Nielsen leaked all this to the press.
